[1] The right and safe way to run stable branch and install packages from other branches (eg testing) is to make backports of them. [2] This is why debian-backports branch exists. When doing it right way you won't need any pinning and if package you backported will hit stretch-backports branch and will be newer version it will be upgraded just as regular package.
